Know Your Artists: Jashn-E-Manipal

Chaat Square Mangalore

After yet another soulful rendition of Irshaad, the Hindi Literature Event of Revels, Goonj has been hard at work on the 2nd edition of their signature event! Dialing back the clock to a year ago, this event spawned the otherwise mundane population of Manipal into sitting up and taking notice of the beauty of poetry and prose that seeped out of the world around. This influx of literary intuition continued with more association with other events of this nature transcending barriers of language and reflecting in events such as Daan Utsav, and even the Revels Proshow this year!

The first Jashn-E-Manipal was the first of its kind. An event that was never before seen in Manipal. The second doesn't disappoint with Shambhu Shikhar - the Hasya Kavi returning for a 2nd performance and the infamous Prakhyat Mishra accompanying to enthrall the audience with his wit and humour!

The Hindi Literary and Debating society of Manipal is back with the largest Kavi Sammelan of South-West region of Karnataka, Jashn-E-ManipalThis year we have, Shambhu Shikhar and Prakhyat Mishra, sharing the stage with the finalists of Irshaad!

Chaliye, chalte hai ek safar par, jipar milenge inn kavio se aur jaanenge inke baare mai.

Shambhu Shikhar ji toh hai hi kamal! Sabse aage rehta hai desh videsh ke samacharo mai inka gyan!

Born in Bihar, this Hasya Kavi is well known for his simple poems, which are not just hilariously humorous and satirical but also have a positive motivation for the whole society.

Jawano ka kare samaan, Prakhyat Mishra hai uska naam

This Lucknavi Kavi is well known for his Hinduwadi and Patrotic poems. The main reason for Prakhyat Mishra‘s popularity is the intense manner he employs in his recitations that captivates his audience and enthralls them.

Now that’s a Kavi we certainly want to hear!

Bas ek kaam karna hoga aapko apne aap,

Aaiyega Jashn-E-Manipal mai apne mitron ke saath!
